that reminds me of minority report, where advertisements are just everywhere... whats interesting is how a hollywood movie and that short linked above both paint a picture of total media and adverising imersion, in both built environment and the viruality of the internet.
both have a 'big brother' aspect to them too, the retinal scans of minority report and the huge database of the google grid that tracks all of your interests, and basically your life.
its a little unnerving...

Product placement is a very interesting phenomenon. I especially like it when most people don't even recognize it, like how "the news" is more and more just product placement. Oprah's completely product placement. And don't even get me started about Disney!
Funny, when an individual 'places' their own work for others to 'consume', that's looked at with distaste. Is it that deep down most people really want giant corporations to control it all?
Epic 2014/Googlezon
This is an interesting short on the future of media and the web. Check it out and discuss, it's about 5 minutes long.
